No confidence vote in Theresa May: Rules for a challenge

How does the vote work and what could happen next? As leader of the Conservative Party, Theresa May depends on the continued support of her MPs. That has been formally called into question after some of them wrote letters saying they had no confidence in her. Under the party's rules, at least 15% of Tory MPs must write such a letter to make a leadership challenge possible. That mark - which translates as 48 MPs - has now been passed. The vote, which is a secret ballot, will be held between 18:00 and 20:00 on Wednesday. To win, Mrs May needs to secure 159 votes - half of her MPs, plus one. But if she loses there will be a leadership contest and she will be barred from standing. There is a third option - Mrs May wins, but only by a few votes. It is likely to follow the following format: To enter the race, prospective leaders need to be nominated by two fellow Tory MPs.
